You added too much molasses. The run-off that collected in the dish under the pot had too much molasses in it. Molasses is simply sugar+vitamins+ minerals. Dissolved in water, this can attract bacteria and fungi. Conclusion: mold.

Never add more that 2tbs/gallon of molasses.

If you think mold got to your roots the typical prcedure is:

Buy an anti-fungal spray from a garden or plant store, spreay a thin coat (no need to spray too much) on top of the soil, then immediatly water the soil, making sure that the water carries all the sprayed anti-fungal into the soil where it will do its job.

You should be fine. I think it would take a lot of molasses to kill your plants. I would just use water for the next couple of waterings though.
